MrCarlos Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I know this car its local to me - been stored outside in a yard for a very long time - i last saw it 2 years ago and its ROTTEN - boot floor is the worst ive ever seen , inner and outer sills , floors , inner wings , chassis rails , battery tray all need loads of work. Front wings , rear panel , front valance all rusty. Roof is rusty under the vinyl , interior is very faded . Engine runs with a misfire and noisy water pump . Its a full rebuild project - and it wont have improved in the 2 years its sat outside since i last saw it ..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrCarlos Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Those photos are very very flattering - to be fair it is described as needing lots of welding . Thats the understatement of the century Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumster Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Maybe £800 is a tad optimistic, Burnley Auto Salvage. Like the colour though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEIL W Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 This is now being broken for parts - I had a look at it this morning & boy was it a mess - not like the photo below. Interior is a bit suspect & so are the door cards but seller says it has been sold complete so wouldn't split the interior. If you bought the interior PM me - I took the boot carpet out & put it inside ( so didn't get too wet & if you don't need it I would purchase it off you ). I took the boot lid ( which is not really good enough but might do) . So if you have a better boot lid - PM me. Certainly well rotten all round - chrome is also sold seller told me. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OPEL-MANTA-ENGINE-1-9-PETROL-1977-MODEL-/281379672576?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4183891200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
